JOSE MOURINHO
The former referee
believes that the FA should clamp down on the Manchester United manager's lack
of respect.
Jose Mourinho should be slapped with a six-match ban
following his latest touchline indiscretion reckons Graham Poll.
The Manchester
United boss was sent to the stands
by referee Jon Moss after lashing out at a water bottle following Paul Pogba's
yellow card for diving in the 1-1 draw with
West Ham yesterday and ex-ref Poll
believes the FA should get tough with the Portuguese.
Earlier this month Mourinho was slapped with a £50,000 fine and a one-match
touchline ban following a double charge relating to comments he made about
referee Anthony Taylor before the Red Devils 0-0 draw with Liverpool and his
confrontation with Mark Clattenburg at half-time during the goalless draw with
Burnley that saw him sent to the stands.
And Poll believes that Mourinho's repeated indiscretions
show a lack of respect that should be harshly dealt with by the FA.
"United fans may well say that referees are treating
their manager more harshly than others but for far too long his excesses were
either ignored or tolerated," Poll writes in the Daily Mail .
"Referees have had enough of the clear lack of
respect the Portuguese displays, none more so than Moss, who also dismissed him
last season.
"So now referees are doing their jobs it’s time the
FA did theirs. A six-game stadium ban might just do the trick."
Mourinho is likely to face a two-match ban following his
third FA charge in six weeks, as he oversaw Manchester United's worst start to
a season for 27 years.
This latest incident saw him launch a water bottle 20
yards down the touchline with his right foot following the 27th-minute decision
to show £89million signing Pogba a yellow card.
Mourinho promptly received his marching orders, with
further punishment likely to follow when the FA receive their match report from
Moss.
The Red Devils boss refused to fulfil his media duties
following the 1-1 draw, leaving assistant Rui Faria to face the press following
United's fourth Premier League draw in a row, which leaves them 11 points
behind Mourinho's former side Chelsea.
The last time that happened was 1980, while United's haul
of 20 points after 13 games is their worst start to a season since the 1989-90
campaign
